As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

The responsibilities of the American president are always an extraordinarily weighty burden. The strength of the nation’s economy, the stability of its foreign relations, the administration of its laws, the defense of its international interests, the health and welfare of its people, are all part of the broad portfolio of the person commonly referred to as the most powerful leader on Earth.

Donald Trump, Wah

Consequently, it is comforting to know that America’s president is always on active duty, seeing to the needs of the nation and addressing its international obligations. For example, Donald Trump is currently laser focused on the most critical matters facing him today, such as erecting giant flag poles at the White House, deploying the military against peaceful demonstrators who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, and staging parades to celebrate his birthday, while simultaneously putting fear into the hearts of our foes.

On Thursday morning Trump was hard at work again at one of his most important tasks, posting comments to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion he was compelled to write about the imminent threat of war with Iran, who was already engaged in a deadly conflict with America’s ally Israel.

Just kidding. Trump hasn’t posted a single word about Iran in two days. Although he did mention it to reporters, to whom he said that “No one knows what I’ll do,” so “I’ll do whatever I want.” What Trump was actually posting today was a temper tantrum aimed at his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. He raged in part that…

“The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT.”

So that’s why “MAGA HATES Fox News.” Because they occasionally release a poll that isn’t adoringly worshipful of Dear Leader Trump. Daffy Don went on to complain that Fox News uses an “incompetent polling company,” as evidenced by their results showing that he got only “a little more than 50% at the Border.”

That alone would be enough to trigger Trump’s hissy fit. However, he left out some pertinent details that surely played a role in his hysterics. The Fox News poll also revealed that Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” had an approval rating of only 38%, while 59% opposed it. And his overall job approval stands at 46%, with 54% disapproving.

That can’t be helping to elevate his mood above its normal state ranging from cranky grandpa to raving lunatic. And the rest of the data from Fox’s poll could only make him even more furious. He is in negative territory on every issue other than the border. And that includes immigration where his failings are seen in almost every poll that asked the question.

Why is Trump FREAKING OUT now?According to a new Fox News poll, Trump is underwater on everything but the border. And his approval on immigration is almost universally negative.

Given the abysmal polling that Trump is suffering through, it’s no wonder that a malignant narcissist like Trump would ignore minor inconveniences like impending war, recession, and the end of American democracy. His attention needs to be directed at whether or not his MAGA cult still loves him, and how to get his media flunkies to praise him with even more slobbering devotion.

Not ot worry, though. Trump will get around to Iran eventually. Or as his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said today, in about two weeks. No, really…

Everything with Trump is "two weeks." Now that includes his decision on whether to take America to war with Iran. He never follows through.Let's hope he fails again on this one. Although he is desperate to change narrative in the media that is all negative for him.

Trump is OUTRAGED at Fox News for Revealing How Unpopular He Is, So He Attacks Rupert Murdoch

The American people are increasingly dissatisfied with Donald Trump as he approaches the 100th day of his second occupation of the White House. And that is not the just the opinion of some random “radical left lunatic,” as Trump likes to call all of his critics. It’s the results of a new poll by Fox News.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

After several weeks of epically abhorrent fiascos, Trump’s approval rating has descended to new lows. His attacks on lawyers, universities, and of course, the media, only serve to expose his desperation. He is now getting failing grades on virtually every issue that he campaigned on. Although, it’s not as if he hasn’t been scraping the bottom of that barrel for some time.

SEE THIS: Trump 2.0 Begins with Approval Ratings that Rank Below Every Other President Dating Back to 1953

A new Fox News poll confirms the crash of the Corruptor-in-Chief. Overall, Trump’s job approval clocks in at 44%.” His disapproval is at 55%. These numbers are notably worse than Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and even himself in his first term. The Fox News reporting on its poll led off on a positive note, but then quickly slid off a cliff…

“President Trump receives his best marks on border security, as a 55% majority approves. That’s the only issue where his ratings are in positive territory. On immigration, a record high of 47% approve of Trump (48% disapprove), while a new low of 38% approve on the economy (56% disapprove). His worst ratings are on inflation (33% approve, 59% disapprove), followed by tariffs (33-58%), foreign policy (40-54%), taxes (38-53%), and guns (41-44%).”

To no one’s surprise, this survey triggered a predictable tantrum from Trump on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He lashed out petulantly at his longtime media benefactor, Rupert Murdoch, saying that

“Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so. This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

So Trump is not only blasting Fox News as a disseminator of “fake news,” he’s accusing Murdoch of lying to him “for years” about ditching the pollster that has actually been surprisingly accurate. And he threw in a shot at Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal for kicks. Probably because the Journal’s Editorial Board recently wrote that Trump was waging The Dumbest Trade War in History.”

Making matters worse, was what Steve Doocy said on Fox and Friends. He began by saying that Trump is “softening his stance on China.” While he characterized that weakness as positive, he elaborated by giving the Fox News viewers some information that was likely to cause them some emotional distress…

“Tariffs are unpopular with the American public. 72% say that the tariffs are making things more expensive. 55% say that they are hurting the economy. And 44% say they are hurting jobs. And when it comes to one other number, when you look at the S&P 500, it has gotten off to the worst start of any presidency going back to 1928, which is when they started keeping records.”

But not to worry, co-host Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s girlfriend), chimed in to salve the wounds caused by Doocy’s brief detour into reality, saying that…

“The administration is saying that these projections are fluid, there are several options on the table. The president yesterday, he was out on the White House lawn, he was out there to find a good location to erect this new huge American flag.”

See? Everything is gonna be okay. The cost of living is rising to new heights. Everything from groceries, to gas, to rent, to appliances, to cars, and more, will be more expensive, for no reason other than Trump’s ego and ignorance. But at least we’ll have a giant, useless flag decorating the White House (which already has one on its roof) to wave at and salute on the way to the poorhouse. Good times! And so much winning.

Trump’s Election Morning Madness Soars as He Declines to Renounce Violence and Attacks Fox News

It’s finally here. Election Day has arrived and millions of Americans, who have not already voted early or by mail, will be heading to the polls to cast their votes. It’s still surprising that some people are having a hard time deciding between Vice-President Kamala Harris, a uniquely qualified and compassionate leader who cherishes democracy, and Donald Trump, a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and business failure/fraudster, with authoritarian aspirations.

Donald Trump Crazy

For his part, Trump seems to be making it easier for voters to decide by cementing in their minds the derangement and division that he offers, which has been the hallmark of his political life. His last rallies of the campaign season were rife with his standard supply of lies and hatred toward minorities, migrants, women, and anyone else that triggers his monstrosity…

SDEE THIS: Kamala Harris Presents: The Creature from the Orange Lagoon

On Tuesday morning Trump answered a few questions at his Mar-a-Lago bunker that were wholly in line with his character, or lack thereof. For instance…

Trump was upset with Oprah Winfrey because she said that a Trump victory could mean that there won’t be any more elections. However, Trump has said the very same thing about a Harris victory. “If we don’t win this election,” he said, “I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country,” That led Trump to lash out at Oprah, which somehow turned into an attack on Fox News (was he weaving?)…

“Oprah should be ashamed of herself…You know who else should be ashamed? Fox…I think it’s a disgrace what Fox does. Everyone thinks that Fox is so pro-Trump. They’re not pro-Trump at all.”

No, Fox News isn’t pro-Trump at all. Except for all of the unabashed slobbering done by Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, and pretty much everyone else on the network that is Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda. And Trump is so disgusted by all the anti-Trump “reporting” on Fox that he appears on it almost exclusively…

SEE ALSO: Scaredy Trump Has Retreated to the Safety of His Fox News Bunker While Canceling Other Media

The non-stop Trump-fluffing at Fox News makes it possible for Trump make the most absurd comments, knowing that they will defend him at all costs. Even when he praised Hitler and expressed his desire to have generals like the Nazi fuehrer. Which leads us to his next election morning excremental exchange…

Reporter: Would you tell your supporters there should be no violence?
Trump: I don’t have to tell them that, that there’ll be no violence. Of course there’ll be no violence. My supporters are not violent people. I don’t have to tell them that…These are people that believe in no violence. Unlike like your question. You believe in violence!

Of course there’ll be no violence. Who would ever imagine that Trump supporters would engage in violence after he loses an election? Certainly the events of January 6, 2021, tell us nothing about that possibility. Just ask those who died that day…oh wait. Ask the 140 police officers who were hospitalized, or the members of Congress and their staff, or the hundreds of violent insurrectionists who pleaded guilty, whether his supporters are violent people or not.

He doesn’t have to tell them to refrain from violence now, just like he failed to tell them then, because he was enjoying watching that “day of love” (as he now calls it) on TV while it was in progress.

And we can’t ignore Trump’s casual accusation that the reporter’s question was the true display of who believes in violence. It was another example of his deft use of the old “I know you are, but what an I” defense.

Finally, Trump was asked what he would say to those who are concerned that he will not concede this election if he loses, He replied that “I think they’re crazy.” Why would they be concerned about that? Just because he still hasn’t conceded the election of 2020, and has been lying about it continually for four years, creating a disinformation industry around his bullsh!t?

These examples of Trump’s dangerously demented mental state are coming too late for most voters to factor them into their decisions. But they are representative of what he’s been saying for years. So everyone ought to know. Here’s hoping that enough them do know and are voting for Kamala Harris so that the nation can have stable leadership that respects the law and the people. Stay tuned.

Scaredy Trump Has Retreated to the Safety of His Fox News Bunker While Canceling Other Media

As Election Day draws nearer, the status of the competing campaigns is evident in their activities. Kamala Harris has been fanning out across the country – focusing particularly on the critical swing states – and blitzing the media with strategic appearances on a broad diversity of national and local news outlets, including Fox News.

Donald Trump Fox News

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been sequestering himself within his MAGA media bubble, refusing to appear anywhere that might present the slightest challenge, and canceling previously agreed upon interviews. He has already nixed appearances on 60 Minutes, NBC News, CNBC, and even an NRA conference.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

Trump’s fear is palpable. but his judgment is probably sound, even if wholly inadvertent. After all, he is utterly incapable of completing a rational thought, expressing an intelligent opinion, or avoiding humiliating gaffes. His own staff has said that his curtailed schedule is due to his becoming exhausted. That’s a bad look for a near octogenarian, with noticeable signs of cognitive decline, who is seeking one of the hardest jobs in the world.

However, Trump has shown up for a few interviews where he is guaranteed not to face any confrontational questions or suffer the indignity of being fact-checked. And most of those have been with his very own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. In just the past month Trump has visited with such dependable Fox News Trump-fluffers as…

  • Sean Hannity
  • Laura Ingraham
  • Brian Kilmeade
  • Greg Gutfeld
  • Maria Bartiromo
  • Larry Kudlow
  • Fox and Friends
  • Harris Faulkner
  • And this coming Sunday, Howard Kurtz

That’s a superstar line up of fiercely partisan MAGA devotees who have spent the last couple of years proselytizing for the Cult of Trump. The frequency of Trump’s visits averages out to twice a week. This is an unprecedented relationship between a so-called “news” network and a political candidate. Trump might as well have his own graphics and theme music to accompany his programs.

What makes Trump’s hiding out at Fortress Fox so preposterous at this time is that it can’t possibly benefit his campaign. He’s speaking to an audience that is already committed to voting for him. So while Harris is out in the field rounding up every vote she she can, Trump is preaching to his hideously off-key choir.

Something else that makes this peculiar is that, despite his constant presence, Trump has also been blasting Fox News for being less than unconditionally worshipful of him. That sort of waffling is intolerable to Trump. For some recent examples…

“Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors…You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

More to Trump’s liking was the interview he did with Maria Bartiromo where he made his abhorrent threat to use the U.S. military against American citizens who disagree with him. He later doubled down on that threat during a town hall/infomercial that Fox News aired with host Harris Faulkner…

For the next three weeks we can expect more of the same. Trump will continue to be too afraid to sit for any real interviews, or to debate Kamala Harris. But he will still grace his Fox flunkies with his lying, demented, presence knowing that they will never point out his mental defects, ignorance, or dishonesty. Most of the country knows that Trump is unfit to serve in any office. Here’s hoping that enough of them will turn out to vote between now and November 5th.

Trump Joins the Fox News ‘Curvy Couch’ Potatoes to Complain About Fox News

As the 2024 presidential race winds down to its final three weeks, Kamala Harris is blanketing the nation – and particularly the critical swing states – to shore up support and persuade undecided voters that she is the only alternative if we are to preserve American democracy and the principles of the Constitution that we revere.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is cowering in the safety of his MAGA media bubble, refusing to expose himself to any real questions, and even canceling events at friendly venues, including one with the NRA. It’s hard to determine if this behavior is due to his cowardice or his laziness or, most likely, both.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

On Friday morning Trump made another visit to a group of the most devoted Trump-fluffers on Fox News, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It’s a program that is a favorite of his for phone-in interviews in his jammies, where he knows that he won’t be challenged by any substantive questions or embarrassed by any fact checks. So it’s just the sort of safe space he’s limiting himself to as Election Day drays nearer.

On this occasion Trump was greeted with the customary welcome from hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley, Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade. Whereupon he launched into a sob session sparked by what he regards as treason by the his Ministry of Propaganda. Trump whined that…

“In the old days, you never played negative ads. In other words, when I leave here, I’ll then be hit by five or six ads…When I leave, I’ll have 12 people from Kamala on, and pretty much unopposed. For 19 days I don’t think we should do that anymore. I think you shouldn’t play negative ads. It’s very tough. You do a show – and I complain all the time. I love complaining. I like to have everything perfect. But when I leave here 200 people from…by the time you do it you say ‘What are you doing?’ It’s sort of a net neutral”

That’s right. Trump is big mad that Fox News dares to interview people who are not bona fide disciples of the Trump cult. In his warped mind, Fox is obligated to book only guests who will exalt Dear Leader without exception. And that’s not all. Trump is also upset that Fox News will sell advertising time to Democrats who might have cause to criticize him.

Trump is, in effect, revealing that his idea of what Fox News is there for is to advance his interests at all times. He may have gotten that impression because that’s precisely what they have been doing for years. However, should they waver in that mission now, they become just another enemy and a propagator of “fake news.” And this isn’t the first time that Trump has made these feelings known…

SEE ALSO: Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

However, there is no need for the MAGA-nuts to worry. Trump is taking matters into his own hands to correct this wayward shifting of sentiments. As the segment was wrapping up, Trump told his F&F pals that…

“I’m going to see Rupert Murdoch. That’s a big event. I don’t know if he’s thrilled that I say it. And I’m going to tell him, I’m going to tell him something very simple – because I can’t talk to anybody else about it – ‘Don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days, don’t put them — and don’t put on the air their horrible people.’ They come and lie. I’m going to say, ‘Rupert, please do it this way,'”

Murdoch may or may not be amenable to Trump’s request. On one hand, he’ll want to please Trump, who he is ideologically aligned with, and who is the object of blind adoration by most the network’s viewers. On the hand hand, Murdoch won’t want to turn away ad dollars that offered to him, or lose access to Democratic power brokers in Washington. What’s more, he may be a little perturbed with Trump for bashing his network and it’s executives.

It is unlikely that Fox News will do anything to anger Trump. They rely on his cult followers for ratings, which translate into ad revenue. But it’s notable that Trump is so comfortable going on a Fox program and griping about how they aren’t being subservient enough to him. And of course, none of the Couch potatoes had any objection to his him kvetching in their faces. They know their place.

Trump Slams Fox News Shortly After Gushing Over Bret Baier’s Hostile Interview of Kamala Harris

The list of mental infirmities that Donald Trump suffers from seems to get longer with each passing day. He has been credibly diagnosed as a narcissist, a sociopath, as emotionally stunted, and a pathological liar, to name just a few. And then there’s his paranoia, anxiety, and delusions of both grandeur and victimization.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

Now we can add Cognitive Dissonance Disorder, a condition wherein the subject holds two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. The symptoms of this malady exhibited by Trump were evident in his recent comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He was reacting to the programs he was watching on Fox News, the network that he alternatively regards as his Ministry of Propaganda, or just another “fake news” enterprise that is determined to destroy him. In Trump’s mind, all Fox programs must be tailored to exalt him. Such as…

SEE THIS: Fox News Hosts a MAGA-Only ‘Town Hall’ that is Actually a Lie-Riddled Trump Campaign Infomercial

Late Wednesday night Trump posted a comment that lauded the network and its allegedly “hard news” anchor, Bret Baier, for the hit job he did on Kamala Harris (full interview here). Trump was effusive in his praise saying

“Great job by Bret Baier in his Interview with Lyin’ Kamala Harris. She has a massive and irredeemable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. […] For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!”

It’s no wonder that Trump loved the interview where Baier spent most of his time badgering and interrupting Harris. She could barely get a complete sentence out before Baier would jump in to prevent her from getting her point across. For example…

That went on for twenty minutes. And throughout, Harris kept her composure and still managed to express herself effectively. Not that that matters so much to the Fox News audience that is primed to attack whatever she says, no matter how reasonable and compelling. And in this case, she had to do it while dodging the obstacles that Baier kept throwing in her path.

Trump also lashed out at Harris for having what he called “inferior Cognitive ability.” Which is just another of Trump’s psychotic afflictions, known as “projection.” While Harris has never shown any hint of cognitive decline, Trump can barely complete a thought without diverging into bizarre absurdities that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. His demand that she take a cognitive test is hysterical. Although, she might want to agree to it if he will. Which he won’t.

MORE HERE: Trump, Who Refuses to Release Medical Records, Calls for Kamala Harris to Take a Cognitive Test

A few hours after posting the comment swooning over Baier’s interview, Trump posted another comment that had an entirely different tone. This time he blasted the network’s CEO, Suzanne Scott, asking

“Why does Suzanne Scott of FoxNews keep putting on third rate ‘talking heads’ like Jessica Tarlov, Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, ‘something’ Wolf, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and other Radical Left Lunatics that lie, and make up statements.” […]

“[N]ot a moment goes by when I’m not looking at negative, false Ads that the other camp stuffs the Fox airwaves with. If I win…it is DESPITE Fox, not because of them!”

Once again, Trump is acting out his psychoses by accusing every Fox News commentator that isn’t an indoctrinated member of his cult, of being a “Radical Left Lunatic” who lies. He has stated repeatedly that Fox should never allow anyone on their air who isn’t a devoted MAGA disciple. that includes pundits on the Fox payroll, as well as politicos invited on as guests.

SEE ALSO: Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

So in the course of less than half a day, Trump expressed both his love and hatred for Fox News. Which raises a couple of pertinent questions. First, What the f**k is wrong with him? Trump is utterly incapable of maintaining a consistent, coherent thought. And second, what the f**k is wrong with Fox News? Why would they allow Trump to castigate their network so bitterly and still remain so faithful to him?

It’s the same sort of fear-based response that members of the Republican Party have. The GOP and Fox News are both terrified of alienating Trump and his glassy-eyed cult followers. And Trump is afraid that people will see through his cheesy facade and discover that he’s fraud and a coward. But all of them are going to find out that their charades cannot be sustained for long.

Fox News already found out, or should have, when they settled a defamation lawsuit for 3/4 of a billion dollars. And Trump’s time of reckoning may be come as soon as November 5th, if the American people turn out to vote.

Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

The symptoms of malignant narcissism include an obsessive, insatiable craving for constant approval and unflinching adoration. It’s one of the most obvious symptomatic affirmations that Donald Trump is suffering from a severe case of that sociopathic personality defect. He simply cannot tolerate any diversion from total adulation.

Donald Trump Fox News

Consequently, it’s somewhat astonishing that Trump is so frequently upset with Fox News, the network that has made it their mission to advance the interests of Trump and his MAGA GOP movement. They have been so pernicious in their pursuit of pro-Trump propaganda that it cost them 3/4 of a billion dollars to back up his flagrant lies and political scams. Which they are still doing…

SEE THIS: Fox News is Still Pushing the Lie that the 2020 Election Was Stolen that Cost Them $787 Million

On Tuesday morning Trump headlined another one of his traveling salvation shows to shore up the devotion of his cult disciples. And in the process he delivered a punch to Fox News for failing in their duty to be 100% faithful to Dear Leader. Trump whined…

“You ever notice on Fox…They put me on, I do a great job. And then they follow me with a horrible commercial. I say what the hell is the good of me doing it if you’re…Roger Ailes never allowed bad commercials. What’s the purpose of me doing a nice show and then they put nine horrible commercials on, which are all lies.

“But when they put somebody on that’s good and then they always feel like they have to put somebody on who’s bad. So the net result is neutral. And you say ‘What are you doing it for? You can’t do that.’ Fox should put just the good people on. The people that want to make America great again. They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.”

So Trump believes that a for-profit cable television network should refuse paid advertising if it isn’t unconditionally complementary to Trump. They should reject all ads by his political opponents. And if they don’t, there is no purpose in him gracing the network with his presence. Would he also support MSNBC refusing his ads?

But Trump goes even farther than that. He also believes that Fox News must not invite guest commentators, or interview politicians, who do not represent his point of view. They “should put just the good people on.” By which he means those who are unwaveringly loyal to him. He is arguing that Fox should maintain a radically partisan editorial policy. Which, despite Trump’s complaints, they pretty much already do.

It is interesting that Trump name-checks former Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes, as an exemplar of the reverential toadies that meet with his approval. Ailes was fired by Fox News for repeated sexual harassment. So Trump likely feels a sense of camaraderie with Ailes in that respect, along with his extreme far-right views.

However, Trump made an inadvertent slip with his demand that “They shouldn’t put the guys that are professional scammers on.” If Fox News complied with that, then Trump himself would be barred from appearances on the network. His entire public persona is a scam. He practices it with both his political ploys and his financial frauds.

Trump’s banishment from the airwaves, and politics, would be the single most effective anti-scam initiative in modern history at – in Trump lingo – a level that was never seen before. But not to worry, MAGA-nauts. Fox News will never willingly abandon their fuehrer. They have too much invested already.

Crybaby Trump Unleashes a Flaming Freak Out Vilifying Fox News for Not Censoring his Foes

The acute personality disorders of Donald Trump have been well documented for many years. Particularly his severe case of malignant narcissism. And mental health professionals have long predicted that his symptoms would grow progressively worse over time without treatment, which he would never agree to.

Donald Trump, Wah

Therefore, it is not surprising that Trump’s condition has noticeably worsened with extraordinarily grave intensity. With each passing day Trump becomes more detached from reality and displays ever more extreme hostilities. His animosity toward those he regards as enemies is expressed on a daily basis on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social

SEE THIS: Trump’s Frantic Fear of Kamala Harris Overflows in a Manic Meltdown on Truth(less) (anti)Social

All day Monday Trump unloaded another barrage of venomous vitriol. This time the target of his tantrum included his very own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. It’s not the first time that Trump has lashed out at his MAGA media network, even as he is simultaneously gracing it with his noxious presence on the programs of his loyal sycophants such as Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. But it was one of his most vicious and sustained assaults. He began by posting the following inquiry…

“Why is FoxNews putting on Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies? Why do they allow the perverts at the failed and disgraced Lincoln Project to advertise on FoxNews? Even Mr. Kellyanne Conway, a man so badly hurt and humiliated by his wife (she must have done some really NASTY things to him, because he is CRAZY!), is advertising on FoxNews. We have to WIN WITHOUT FOX!”

From Trump’s perverse perspective, an alleged “news” network should not be covering the campaign of the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for president, Kamala Harris. [Note: He’s also changed his nickname for her again, from “Laffin'” to “Lyin'” and now “Crazy Kamala”]. Then he whines about Fox News having sold advertising time to his critics. It must be awful for the “most fabulous whiner” (his words), to have to watch these blisteringly accurate presentations of him…

in response to this affront to his massive, yet fragile, ego, Trump let loose 37 posts on Truth Social. They were mostly weird memes with QAnon themes proclaiming Trump as the messiah or Democrats as evil. Some of the bizarre messages implied that the FBI “ordered the assassination” of Trump; said that January 6th was “an inside job;” called Harris a “Cackling Moron;” called Nancy Pelosi “Batshit Crazy;” and declared that Trump is “what god has ordained.”

Also interspersed among these ravings were meme’s that expressed Trump’s malice toward Fox News, including “Scr*w you FOX!;” “Who needs RINO FoxNews?;” “I don’t watch Fox News.;” and “Who needs Fake FOX & CO?” One example that just oozed his seething fear made the outlandish accusation that Fox News hosts Neil Cavuto and Shannon Bream are “On the Soros Payroll.”

That ought to be enough to convince most people that Trump is suffering from deep-seated anxieties and dread of the foreboding future that awaits him politically and legally. But sadly, there are those who have been indoctrinated into the Trump cult who can’t be convinced of anything, regardless of the abundant evidence. They are lost and irredeemable.

Let them go. There are still many more who remain rational and willing to join the reality-based community that will reject Trump’s egomaniacal totalitarianism and embrace the hope and honesty that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are offering. The next few months will be a bit nerve-racking, but with hard work and devotion to the principles that make America great, the result be a gratifying victory. Stay strong and true.

TRUMP IS RIGHT! In a Mad Rage, Felon of Foy Declares that ‘Nobody Can Ever Trust Fox News’

It must be exhausting to be Donald Trump, who somehow manages to maintain a near constant state of outrage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If he isn’t unloading his perpetual fury at President Biden or some other unwitting Democrat for respectably serving the public, Trump is blasting his fellow Republicans for failing to be sufficiently worshipful.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

The anger that emanates from Trump is like carpet bombing that indiscriminately destroys anything within its blast range. And he couldn’t care less if the victims are friend or foe. The only thing that matters to Trump is that some damage was done to whatever or whoever was on his list for retribution at the time. For instance, he recently lashed out at the city of Milwaukee, where the Republican convention will be held next month…

On Wednesday Trump fired wildly at a slew of his perceived enemies in an especially noxious tirade that he posted on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social. The brief assault threw rhetorical shrapnel in every direction. He ranted that…

“Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupert and Lachlan, get that dog off your Board – You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump’s opening attack is one that is difficult to argue with. Indeed, “Nobody can ever trust Fox News.” It is an ultra-rightist disseminator of pure propaganda in service to Trump and his MAGA cult. So why, then, would Trump be blasting it?

It’s hard to say for sure, but it’s likely that Trump was triggered by a recent interview on Fox News of former GOP Speaker Paul Ryan, who now serves on Fox’s board of directors. Among other things, Ryan had the audacity to tell the truth about Trump to host Neil Cavuto. Which is all that was necessary to incur Trump’s seething wrath. Ryan said that…

“He has cost us a lot of seats…He cost us the Senate twice. He cost us the House because he is pushing through the primaries people who cannot win general elections but pledge fealty to him…We need legislators, not entertainers.” [And that] “If you put yourself above the Constitution, as he has done, I think that makes you unfit for office.”

Still, it’s ridiculous for Trump to react so viciously considering how much blind adulation he gets from almost everyone else on the network. The entire primetime lineup (Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity), and much of the daytime programming (Fox & Friends, Outnumbered, and The Five), are unfailingly devoted to Trump. It is, after all, the network that settled a massive $787 million dollar lawsuit due to their flagrant lies and defamation on Trump’s behalf.

Somehow, in light of all of that, Trump still abhors Fox and thinks that he can demand that Rupert Murdoch remove “that dog” Ryan, from the board because, in a toxically twisted paraphrase of a famous Beatles lyric, “ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP.” Yet despite his condemnation of Fox News as wholly untrustworthy, Trump himself appears to trust it a great deal. A recent analysis of his comments on Truth Social reveals that he relies more on Fox News for support than any media enterprise…

“Donald Trump can’t quit Fox News. The Republican presidential candidate may lash out in strong terms at the right-wing channel for supposedly not being sufficiently loyal to him, but a fresh analysis of the content posted on his Truth Social page shows that he promotes the outlet more than any other. […] In the month of May, Trump posted 56 videos from Fox News, dwarfing the volume of content he posted from any other outlet, according to the analysis conducted by The Righting, a website that monitors right-wing media.”

Trump is exhibiting a fair measure of contradictory anxieties with his simultaneous love and hatred for Fox News. We can add that psychological diagnosis to previous assessments that he is a malignant narcissist who is suffering from severe cognitive decline. All of which should be sufficient to persuade decent, patriotic Americans to vote for Joe Biden, who has demonstrated in his first term as President that he is intelligent, effective, and compassionate.

We can forget about the MAGA cultists. Unfortunately for them and their families, they are lost to us now. But fortunately, there are many more Democrats who didn’t vote, and independents who are persuadable, and even Republicans who haven’t abandoned reality, to still achieve a landslide victory for Biden-Harris. So long as we all work hard to achieve that goal and to preserve the principles enshrined in the Constitution and, ultimately, American democracy.

UPDATE: Trump has another reason to be upset with Fox News. Their new poll has Biden beating him by two points. And he isn’t taking that very well.

Trump Says He Watches a Lot of Fox News, That He Also Says is ‘Totally Fake’ and ‘Unwatchable’

The convolutions of Donald Trump’s character are too numerous and perverse to succinctly summarize. Suffice to say that he is a twisted bundle of frayed nerves and psychoses. His contradictions and hypocrisies are legendary. And anyone who thinks that they can anticipate his behavior – other than as hostile and self-serving – is fooling themselves.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

In a new interview conducted by Raheem Kassam of the ultra-rightist National Pulse, Trump put this personality disorder on display. It was 36 minutes of incoherent rambling and rehashing of the same delusional talking points that he has been dispensing for years.

RELATED: Trump Bombs on Meet the Press, Behaving Like a Petulant Toddler Who Couldn’t Stop Lying

The interview began with Kassam asking Trump about the state of immigration: “Did you ever think you’d see this level of American Carnage?” That was a throwback reference to Trump’s infamous “American Carnage” inauguration address. Trump’s reply was a typically tortured tirade that utterly avoided reality…

“No. Nobody has ever seen anything like this. […] Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from. We know they come from prisons. We know they come mental institutions, insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad.”

So in a single reply Trump asserted that “Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from,” then proceeds to tell Kassam where they are coming from. And, of course, it was all completely false and profoundly racist. He went on to lie that there were zero terrorists intercepted by border patrol during his occupation of the White House. (Fact Check: 216 people on the terrorist watchlist were apprehended this year. There were 280 in 2019 during the Trump administration).

The interview briefly touched on Trump’s television habits. We know that he was an avid viewer of Fox News and other right-wing media while allegedly serving as president. He was reported to have watched as much as eight hours of television every day. Most of that was Fox News or some other Trump-fluffing outlet that catered to his massive yet fragile ego. And apparently nothing has changed, according to Trump in the following portion of the interview (see video below beginning at 4:20)

Kassam: You make a point about the press and the media. And I think that most of the media is quite hostile towards you. I think one that I think people are surprised that have been hostile towards you has been Fox. Especially recently…
Trump: We’ve done well with Fox over the years. […] But somehow there’s just an edge there. You take a look at the anchors, look at Sean Hannity, Laura’s been great. They’ve been good. But there’s an overhang if you just feel, there’s something missing.
Kassam: But do you think [Rupert Murdoch] is going, he kind of went all in against you in this primary cycle. And I think he’s realized now that he’s not gonna win that battle. Do you think that’s why he’s kind of shuffling…
Trump: Well they put everything against DeSanctimonious. And he’s not a talented person. He’s just not a talented person. He only won because I endorsed him. He was at 3%, he was dead, and I endorsed him. […]

[Note: It’s always been curious how Trump frequently brags about having endorsed people who he considers losers and liars and incompetents, and then takes credit for their political victories. Why the heck did he endorse them?]

Trump: The anchors are so good. Jesse [Watters] has been great. Greg [Gutfeld] has been great. You look at what he’s done, right? They’ve all been good. You look on Saturday, it’s been fantastic with Pete Hegseth, Rachel [Campos-Duffy], Will [Cain]. So we get a lot of good support. And lately Brian Kilmeade’s been great. But Steve Doocy’s been terrible. I mean, to me he’s been just terrible. He’s hurting the show. Ainsley [Earhardt] is good. […]
Kassam: You still watch it a lot then?
Trump: Yeah, I watch it. I watch it. I watch it, and I watch Newsmax. I try not to watch the other…There’s so much fake news. I mean honestly, somebody like MSNBC, it’s so bad and so vicious, and same thing with CNN, but maybe even to a lesser extent. But I watch these two and honestly, it’s a campaign contribution what they do. It’s a campaign contribution. And they should pay a lot of money. Somebody has to pay for this. Because that’s an absolute campaign contribution. And they can’t be allowed to be able to get away with this. It’s so unfair.

So Trump watches quite a bit of Fox News, despite the fact that he has recently maligned them saying that “Fox News is dead,”, and that “Fox News daytime is not watchable,” and that “Fox News Polls are totally FAKE.”

Trump’s idea of a free press is one that is consistently adoring of him, and anything less than worshipful devotion is tantamount to treason. He recently used that exact language to condemn the media saying that “They are almost all dishonest and corrupt [and] should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason.’” He elaborated threatening that “when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized,” and that they should not “be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA,” and that they “should pay a big price for what they have done.”

The rest of the interview was boilerplate, dishonest Trumpisms about abortion after birth, which is not a thing; the January 6th insurrection that he incited; his efforts to overturn the election with fake electors; the Mueller report and what he calls the Russia, Russia, Russia scam; and of course, his perpetual preposterous whining about Biden being incompetent and/or corrupt. In other words, it was Trump being Trump, and abandoning what the rest of us recognize as a little thing called reality.
